Is Now the Right Time to Buy?

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

A recent article in the Baltimore Sun says yes, now is the right time to buy. According to Christopher Thornberg, interests rates are continuing to come down and housing prices are at some of the lowest they’ve been. He says “affordability is at record levels” and “you have to be in long term.”

He also explains that we should start to see improvement in the housing market. Thornberg states, “We’ve burned up excess supply, foreclosures are starting to decline, income is starting to rise, jobs are starting to rise. Housing should start to turn the corner this year…”

Valuable information and very nice to see so many articles pointing to an improved housing market in 2012!

Movin’ On Up….

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

Signs point to a rise in new construction and the housing market overall, according to the Washington Post.

“A wide range of housing indicators — construction, home sales, prices — have stabilized in the past few months, although they remain at historically very low levels. And it looks as if construction activity in particular will pick up in 2012.”

New construction starts, in particular, showed a 9.3% increase in November 2011, the highest it’s been in 19 months. Issued building permits also increased by 5.7%.
